• WLAN These settings are available only for APs.
‑ WLAN Group Select the appropriate group.
‑ (SSID) Tap to override settings. The WLAN Override
screen appears.
• Enabled on This AP Tap to enable the WLAN for
use.
• Use VLAN Tap to enable the VLAN. Then enter the
VLAN ID. The VLAN ID is a unique value assigned to
each VLAN on a single device. Enter a value between
2 and 4095. For example, in a large deployment
where there are multiple buildings, you can use a
different VLAN ID for each building while all of the
VLANs remain on the same corporate network.
• SSID Enter the SSID override name to apply to the
wireless network.
• Security Key If the WPA‑Personal security option
has been applied to the WLAN under Settings >
Wireless Networks, then the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for
the SSID specified will automatically appear in this
field.
• Network Select the appropriate option:
‑ Using DHCP The use of the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is the default. The AP
automatically acquires network settings from the
network’s DHCP server.
‑ Static IP Assign fixed network settings to the AP.
Enter the following information:
• IP Address Enter the IP address for the AP.
• Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask of the AP.
• Gateway Enter the IP address of the gateway (for
example, the UniFi Security Gateway).
• Preferred DNS Enter the IP address of the primary
DNS server.
• Alternate DNS Enter the IP address of the
secondary DNS server.
• DNS Suffix Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) without the hostname.
• Band Steering (This setting is available only for the
UAP‑PRO, UAP‑AC‑LITE, UAP‑AC‑LR, UAP‑AC‑PRO, and
UAP-AC-EDU.) 2.4 GHz networks are typically more
congested due to support of legacy clients and multiple
sources of 2.4GHz interference, including Bluetooth
devices. Band steering can help distribute the load on
2.4 GHz and 5GHz networks by steering dual-band
clients to the 5 GHz band when appropriate.
